Week 10 at New Orleans Saints
In Week 8, Gage was the number three wide receiver for the Falcons. He had seven receptions on nine targets for 58 yards. Gage played 59% of snaps, while Justin Hardy only played 15% of snaps. The Falcons had a bye in Week 9.
Gage could benefit from Eli Apple shadowing Julio Jones and Marshon Lattimore shadowing Calvin Ridley. However, Gage is more likely to be Matt Ryan’s fourth receiving option behind Austin Hooper. The Saints are 12th against wide receivers, per our signature schedule-adjusted fantasy points allowed metric. Also, Matt Ryan could be under a lot of pressure because the Saints are top ten in sack rate and QB hit rate. 4for4’s rankings expert, John Paulsen, has Gage ranked as a mid-range half PPR WR5.
